Right Around the Corner...

It took me a little bit of time, but I finally figured out what I wanted to do with the back for my Amis Rangoon quilt and now there's no stopping me!

I always knew that I wanted the Les Amis print to be the main attraction on the back, but when I looked at laying out all my Amis scraps in a bunch for the backing, it was just way too busy to let those cute Amis shine. Instead I went out and bought a bunch of Kona Charcoal to frame them. I echoed the fussy cut square border from the quilt front and then finished it all off with a gray/green print from my stash.

Since I struggled so much with the brown background fabric on the front, the backing was a cool comfort on my eyes. Honestly I think this makes it a "reversible" quilt!

So now it's onto the quilting and binding - hopefully this will be in its new home well before the holiday!
